Widespread Ruin Wrought by the Texas
Storm.
THE POOR IN NEED or HELP.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Sept. 23.-At g
o'clock Tuesday evening the norther that had
been blowing for several days increased in
ferceness, with heavy gusts Of rain. In a
short time the hurricane was on the town in
full force, the wind reaching, in the heighth Of
the storm, the velocity Of seventy eight miles
per hour. All night long it continued, the
bowling being mingled now and then with
crash Of q falling house, the laundering sound
OF falling trees, the rafting Of fences as they
went over or the shouts Of those dcserting their
crumbling residences or imploring aid. The
duration Of the storm may be said to be thirty
FIVE hours. The rainfall was very heavy,
1915 inches.
The damage in the country outside Of the
cities is lncalculablc. Countless head Of cattle
and sheep have been lost, and crops Of cotton
corn and sugar cane completely prostrated and
destroyed. One rancher on a small place cal
culates his loss in cotton alone at $50, 900,
and many others are equally heavy losers.
The total of losses will be far beyond million
dollars.
In Brownsville the chici sufferers were
among the poor. Between sixty and eighty
jackals, or cheaper class of dwellings, have
been blown down, and fully three hundred
have been partially unroofed and rendered
uninhabitablc.
THE rOOR.
In Matamoras about dozen houses of the
better class, and fully $50 OF 200 jackals, were
prostrated, while from 400 10 500 were I'M
rooled or shattered. Public buildings, and
stores, and the better class of dwellings leaked
like sIeves, and are all ahoat.
TIE LAGOON DISTRICT FLOODED.
The unfortunate lagoon district south Of the
Plaza del Capilla IS again inundated. A large
portion Of the houses have fallen. Water is

FINE DECORATIONS Mcssrs. Tollcs and
Foster has been engaged lately in painting
the residence Of II, Wollenberein this city.
We had the pleasure this week Of inspecting
their work and must pronounce it first class.
When the painting and the ceiling decorations
are completed the work done will be the
highest example OF the painters art in this
city. Especially fine, artistic and tasteful are
the ceiling decorations paper and borders of
different shades, colors and arrangements.
All OF this work was done by the gentlemen
from their own designs and evidence of the
fact that no one need send out of Roseburg
for anything in this line, as the decorations
could not be excelled by any workmen.

Fragrant spite the dear, dead heart .

MackereI.

The total catch landed to date by the New
England fleet from the shore and bay fisher
les is only "a, 500 barrels, as reported by the
Boston Fish Bureau, against 33,537 barrels
for the same time last year, decrease OF
about 5000 barrels. And the catch last year
was the smallest for long series Of years.
In 1885, up to the second week in August
the catch was .06S barrels, and in 1884 1t
was 157,9S1 barrels. Last week the feet
landed only 1906 barrels at all ports. Vessels
from Block Island and other places on this
coast arrive with only few barrels, and re-
port no mackerel schooling anywhere along
the shore. From the North Bay the reports
are unfavorable. A few vessels have secured
fares of over 100 barrels each, but most of
the fleet run under so barrels. The schooner
Ermina, which arrived at Portland on
Thursday from the Bay, with GO barrels Of
mackerel, reports mackerel scarce, and what
few were schooling were mostly within the
three mile limit. The catch around Prince
Edward Island and on the Move Scotia coast
by the native fishermen has been compara-
lively light, and nearly all have been sent
forward. In fact, adyices from all quarters
show that elarge schools Of mackerel have
kept out of the way of the yigilant fisher
this years catch will be the smallest on rec
ord
Mr.. w. A. Wilcox, Of the American Fish
Bureau makes the total catch of mackerel to
date 26, 11S barrels. OF the seiners at Souris,
p. E. L., thirty-seven sail had 1851 barrels, an
average of 63f barrels each, which is prOba-
bly, near the average for the entire fleet Of
200 sail.

AUGUSTA, Me, Aug. 10, 1887.
Hon. RUFUS Prince, President Maine State Agrt-

Sir-The Trustees of the Maine State Agricul-
tural Society have recently called the attention of
the life members of the society to abuses practced
by some of its members in the past two years 4;
and in the call for the annual meeting OF the So
ciety they have inserted article to be acted up
on as follows: "To see If the life members will
vote to assess the members who joined under the
SO fee the sum of $40, thereby replenishing the
treasury and equalizing the fee of the member
ship"
As life member, and one deeply interested in
the success of the Society, beg TO ask you to
have inserted in the call for the annual meeting
an additional proposition, namely ITO see If the

1t is absolutely impossible for the FAIR, located

it has been in the past in regard to the privileges
accorded to life members. believe that the life
members Of This Society have enough interest in
its welfare to surrender their membership. They
have received more than an equivalent for the

have no deadheads connected with it, members
of the press, reporters, everybody, let them pay.
If the future fairs are any way equal to those that
have been held in the past, every person attend
ing will receive full value for the admission he
has to pay. do not want this old society to go
down. It has debt of more than $4,000 upon
its shoulders; this debt must be met and wiped
out, Let some means be devised at the next
meeting of the life members to pay this indebted
ness in full.

selves from such Supreme Court as our fathers
did from the all claiming English ministry In the

Immediately after the so-called poisoning,
pronounced it free from poison, and be-

THE cHATswoRrH DISASTER.
Three More Injured Passengers Who
Will Die.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13-A special from Chats
worth. Ill, says that much of the excitement
which has prevailed Tor the past three days
has died out. All the dead Identified Oh not,
have been carried away. The unidentified
are held at Peoria. In addition to the dead
all the wounded able to be moved, except
those in private houses, have been taken
from Chatsworth to Peoria. Seven however,
yet remain this morning in the city hall and
engine house. Three of them, it is known,
win certainly die with possibly a fourth.
One of these, Mrs. Valdejo of Peoria, who
was enormously reported dead last night,
died this morning. Few Of the wounded
have as yet been removed from the hospital
at Piper city. 1t had been the intention to
take those who were able out of there yes
terday, but owing to some misunderstood
ing this was not done. Superintendent
Armstrong will attend to that sometime to-
day.
The coroner's inquest was adjourned to-
day until Tuesday, after one witness, had
grain dealer, at Chatsworth. The only thing
notable in his evidence, was the statement
that, although he was one of the first at the
wreck and remained there until the arrival
of the first relief train, he saw no interfer-
ence by anybody with the valuables Of the
victims.
The Cause of the Fire.
Ohl(AdO3 Auss uC opCOidA
from Champlain, |. H., says, ~. o. Baker,
president of the Illinois Society of Engineers
and professor of civil engineering in the
University of Illinois, returned last night
from a careful personal examination of the
engineering problems of the Chatsworth dis
aster, and an examination of the condition
of the other bridges and culyerts, and the
protection from fire given the culverts by the
road officials and track hands. He says:
"The incendiaIy theory has no foundation what
ever. was unable to find any citizen of Chats
worth who had seen any suspicious characters
lettering about. The flames Of the burning cuI-
vert were plainly seen from Chatsworth at inter-
walls of several hours before the accident.
From the lay of the land they must have risen five
or six feet above the track to have been seen so
far. 1t is plain that attempt has been made to
protect the bridges from fire. A personal inspec-
tion along the road for several miles, shows the
grass and weeds not all burned off but many
patches left unburned and, in the immediate vi
cinity Of the accident 1t more carelessly done
than elsewhere. The culvert itself was of the u.s.
ual build and had abundant strength to carry the
train but for the fire which had destroyed the
lower portion. Probably the fire left by the sec
tion men late in the afternoon, who, by their
own testimony. admitted there was burning grass
only forty rods away, was driven down to the
culvert when they left by slight change in the
wind. Otherwise it is possible that sparks from
the special train of the superintendent of bridges
whose train was the last before the fated excur-
sion kinded the grass near the culyert, and the
grass burned slowly for long time, finally hred
the culyert."
